I'm impressed by the burn mark along the RH side of the canopy. I can only assume it is made of acrylic or similar.

Pontius,
I remember my first lightning strike quite well. It was in an A320. Lightning hit just out the front. I jumped, the jump seat traveller jumped. The very experienced RH seater training captain just stated in a quiet voice "it's going to be a long night".
